The ministry of the Holy Spirit in prayer

 

Romans 8:26, 27 opens our understanding to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives as believers. It talks about the help that the Holy Spirit brings into the life of a believer especially in prayer.

 

Prayer is central to seeking God and birthing revival. In fact, the prayer room is the birthplace of revival. As we trust God for personal, corporate revival and a move of God in our communities, it must begin with prayer.

 

When God intends great mercy for His people, He sets them a-praying – Matthew Henry.

 

God does nothing except in response to believing prayer – John Wesley

 

The man who can get believers to praying would under God usher in the greatest revival the world has ever known. – Leonard Ravenhill

 

We cannot do effective praying without the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We have several infirmities and limitations that can hinder us. They include physical weakness and mental weakness. We are limited in knowledge and discernment. Reinhard Bonnke once said we are made to be power-assisted.

 

The Holy Spirit in us takes over our frailty and begins to intercede for us. God understands the groaning of the Spirit and supplies all we need to secure the will of God upon our lives and His move upon the earth.

 

Sometimes, we become lost for words and we agonize in prayer even as the Holy Spirit assists us in prayer. Our whole being is involved in this kind of prayer. We cannot see God’s blessings upon our efforts until we pray in this manner.

 

The Holy Spirit will help you tarry in God’s presence and make prayer a delight. He will help you pray by discernment and this will make your writing, singing, preaching, teaching, online ministry very full of impact and effective.

 

Building up yourself upon your most holy faith praying in the Holy Ghost – Jude 20.
